COMB.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 30, 1906.

Patented Feb. 19, 1907.

Serial No. 814,372.

To all whom it 'nwty concern:

Be it known that I, JUsTUs J. SoHULz, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illino s, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combs, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My present invention relates to improvements in combs, and has for itsobject the provision of a simpleand effective means, in combination withthe comb itself, for readily making and indicating the parts ordivisions almost always present in the various styles or manners ofarranging or combing the hair.

To the accomplishment of the above objects my invention consists of anew and novel structure and combination, as will presently appear.

The drawing is a side view of a comb embodying my invention.

In the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates the back of a comb; 2, the teethof a comb; 3, a blank attached to the back 1 in a manner similar to thatfor attaching the teeth or in any other suitable manner. The said blank3 occupies the space of several teeth and is provided upon its outerunattached end with the space portions 4, whose edges aline slightlyback of the alinement of the ends of the teeth and the parter 5. Theedges of the spaced portions 4 perform the function of smoothing andslightly compressing the adjacent filaments of the hair, thereby leavingthe part or division made by the parter 5 clear and distinct.

In using my invention the hair is first untangled and straightened withthe teeth of the comb, the parter is then passed over the place where itis desired to have the part, thereby clearly indicating thedivision-line, and the further arrangement of the hair is accomplishedwith the teeth of the comb and a brush in the usual manner.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawing, itis evident that I provide in a comb a part maker and indicator extremelysimple in construction and effective in operation.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In combination with a comb means for making and clearly marking a partconsisting of a blank having an edge adapted to smooth I the filamentsof the hair, said edge being provided with a projection for making thepart.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
